Do you own one or more vehicles that you don’t or can’t drive? Did you know that you could turn those junk cars into cash? Even if your car is crashed, doesn’t run or has even been sitting in the elements for years, you can still sell it. More than likely it is sitting there with the intent of fixing it, but the longer it goes without attention, the less likely it will be that you are going to perform the repairs. You might as well just sell it to the highest bidder and get some extra money you can use right now.

How to Find Buyers

The advertisements, “We Buy Cars Dallas” are few and far between. While there are some that make sure you know they are in the market to buy your vehicle, most do not. The best way to find unadvertised buyers is to ask around. Call a few mechanics and see if they know of anyone looking to purchase your type of vehicle. Salvage yards are also a great place, because even if they aren’t buying at the moment, they probably know someone who is. Craigslist is also an untapped resource most don’t know about. Put a price on it and see what happens. You may be surprised by the offers you receive through this avenue.

Don’t Waste Your Time

Selling your car doesn’t have to be a part time job; work smarter not harder. Once you have found the number of buyers you are satisfied with, go down the list and call all of them. Have pen and paper ready so that you can organize all of the information. Separate your buyers into three categories. Buyers that come to your location and give you an offer, those who require you to bring your car to them, and those who with give you a conditional quote over the phone or through email. With the latter, be prepared to provide pictures inside and out. You will also have to be honest. Withholding information about the condition of the car doesn’t help anyone. You are more likely to receive an inaccurate quote, or blow the deal altogether. The reason for acquiring so many buyers is to get the most money for your car. You will want to make all of the appointments requiring you to tow your car to the buyer’s location on the same day. This way you can get all of the quotes out of the way in one fell swoop, which saves you time and money. In the meantime you can receive visits from buyers that will come to you. At the end of the process you will know who is willing to pay you the most money.
